ALBANY — A Pine Hills man was badly beaten and had a lamp thrown through his window after he tried to quiet a raucous early-morning party, police said.

The incident unfolded just after 3:30 a.m. Wednesday at 694 State St., where the 20-year-old victim was staying with a friend, Officer Steve Smith said.

Unable to fall asleep because of loud music and noise, the victim opened the bedroom window, reached across the narrow alleyway to 692 State St., where the party was being held, and banged on the window causing it to crack, the police spokesman said.

When Nicolina Cabezal, who lives at 692 State St., noticed the crack, she opened her window and threw a lamp through the victim's window, police said. The victim and his friend were hit by shattered glass, Smith said.

Cabezal, 23, then went over to 694 State St. with a roommate, James Shormis, and a friend, James Mansheffer, and confronted the victim, Smith said.

When the victim opened the door, Shormis and Mansheffer forced their way into the apartment and punched him in the head and ribs as Cabezal watched, the police spokesman said.

The victim escaped and ran out the back door, Smith said. The man then went to Albany Medical Center, where he was treated for bruises.
